On the way back with the brother and sister, Fang Zheng also learned the whole story from the girl named "Saotome Tomoe."
According to the girl, they were woken up in their sleep by sudden alarms, warning that a nuclear bomb was about to fall on Tokyo, so all Residents had to head to the shelters immediately.
Disasters never stop in Japan anyway, but a nuke still caused massive panic. People were running everywhere in chaos, and in the panic the siblings followed the crowd with their parents into a nearby subway tunnel—that was pretty much the only plan they could think of at the time.
But after that, the disasters didn't stop.
First, the nuclear explosion naturally blasted huge chunks of the ground to rubble, and the subsequent earthquakes and howling seawater flooded a lot of areas. The people hiding in the subway tunnels basically looked like extras in a disaster movie—just running, running, desperately running. And in the chaos, the siblings got separated from their parents.
